Design and Display

It is hard to look at the Dell XPS 15 (2018) and not be impressed. It’s svelte. Thickness of just about 16 mm is not common for a Laptop of this size. This should make it less odd using in tablet mode. The Dell XPS 15 (2018) 2-in-1 uses similar materials as its predecessor: aluminium and carbon fibre.

Dell provides the hybrid with an improved ‘maglev’ keyboard. This makes use of magnets, rather than rubber domes, for keycap rebound. It also means you have a keyboard that is slimmer.

A large ‘UltraSharp’ 15.6-inch screen is in the mix, as the name suggests. This is an InfinityEdge (edge-to-edge) touch display with stunning 4K resolution. The Dell Laptopoffers fingerprint recognition and enjoys Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection.

Performance

Dell claims this is the most powerful 2-in-1 to date. Well, it may actually have a point there. Its new XPS 15 (2018) combines an 8th-gen Intel quad-core processor with AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL Graphics. We are talking about Core i5 or i7 chip here. Now, that’s pretty impressive!

Throw in up to 16GB dual-channel DDR4 RAM in the mix and you have a machine that looks ready to impress. GORE Thermal Insulation boosts performance by keeping heat in check.
